From the time I was born some 50 years ago, it was called spaghetti.
My mother made it, we got it in the school cafeteria. we ate it in
restaurants, and my relatives served it. It was always called
SPAGHETTI. All of a sudden it seems the name has changed to pasta.
What the hell is PASTA?

I thought I was just over reacting and the word Pasta was just
something used by the ultra-wealthy because they always seem to use a
fancy name for something in order to raise the price, such as calling
coffee, java. Everyone knows that java costs two, three or more times
the price of a cup of coffee, and its the same darn thing.

It was not until the other day when I went to the grocery store and
asked this 20ish looking store employee where to find the spaghetti
sauce. He looked at me and said "what's that"? I was shocked and
felt like telling the idiot to find a different job if he dont know
what the #$%^ spaghetti sauce is, but I did my best to remain calm and
say "pasta sauce". He knew right where that was.......

Has the word "spaghetti" been banned for some reason? Is there some
sort of politically incorrect sexual connotation to that word that
offends the religious right, or what? Or does it just cost more
because they now call it pasta?
